3 out of 5 stars Well worth it   July 19, 2008
with the return of the dual shock it has restored that missing link for MGS4 on the PS3. Hopefully more games come out that are compatible and implement the Dual Shock 3 as well as Konami and Hideo Kojima were able to.


3 out of 5 stars Its about time...   July 11, 2008
It's about time they came out with the dualshock controller for the PS3. Now all they have to do is make more games that support that feature.


4 out of 5 stars Rumble in da house!   July 6, 2008
PROS: The original controller feels too light. Now this one has some weight, but not too heavy. I'd still like a bigger size for my large hands. But this is all about the rumble baby! Games aren't the same without it. I don't know how battery life is yet, but so far so good. I've used it with BAD COMPANY -GREAT! Fifa 08 - no rumble. Now if Fifa 09 can have Rumble - oh that would be awesome!

CONS: the joysticks are springy. if there is no sound on, you can hear it - subtle, but it's there. Everything else feels sturdy. Hopefully the next one will have less springy sticks. also, $55 is a bit too steep for a controller; but we have no other option, do we? I think $39 is a much better price point. still great!



5 out of 5 stars the rumbler   July 4, 2008
Wish the battery would last longer. Other than that, I'm a believer, I like the rumble, I like the Amazon price and fast delivery.


5 out of 5 stars Dual Shocks   July 3, 2008
it's worth having even though the PS3 should have made these controls to begin with as well a rip off but what goes around comes around... when you're a billions dollars in the hole....
